On the other hand, maybe you SHOULD. I could send you some poison ivy,
bindweed, yellow nutgrass, and deadly nightshade if you'd like. I'll even
part with some silver maple seedlings. Let me know when you're ready.

We got a very unpleasant surprise today. To backtrack a bit, our
landlord

sold our house (two family brownstone) to his son, who moved in
downstairs.
We knew him and all so it didn't seem like a big deal. That is until
he told
us today we are no longer allowed any use of the front or backyard.
Our
grill, patio set, and all our outdoor plants have to go. To quote him
("It's
MY house, and MY yard. You just rent the second floor." ). We're
unhappy to
say the least. The grill and patio set are new and since we have to
get rid
of them that's $300 down the drain. The plants (including three rose
bushes)
probably cost me a hundred or so at least. Now the previous landlord
(his
father) had no problem with any of it, and this one has been around
since
April and just now decided to tell us. He said it "slipped his mind".
Right.
He saw me planting, saw the grill and table set up, and never said a
word.
We're not dirty, messy people. When we moved in the front yard was
bare and

pretty ugly, and we're always complimented on how nice we kept things,
inside and out.

Needless to say we are looking for a new place to live. Thank goodness
we

are in a position to do so. We refuse to be treated like second class
citizens and made to feel unwelcome in our own home. Fine, he's the

landlord, but our rent helps pay the mortgage and frankly after 5
years of
paying rent on time and being in their words "perfect tenants" we
deserve

better treatment.

I know things could be worse but boy are we pissed. All that money
wasted!
